Parque Roberto Burle Marx

Parque Roberto Burle Marx, Landscaped gardens in Belo Horizonte, Brazil

Parque Roberto Burle Marx, also called Parque das Águas, is an ecological park of 176,000 square metres in the Flávio Marques Lisboa neighbourhood, Barreiro de Cima region, Belo Horizonte. It lies within the Serra do Rola Moça ecological complex, on the border of the Serra do Curral, in the Velhas river basin. Cerrado vegetation of campo cerrado and riparian forest species such as canelas, copaíbas, ingás and jatobás covers the grounds, which hold springs including the córrego do Clemente.

The park opened in 1994 as the Roberto Burle Marx Ecological Park, named after the Brazilian landscape architect. Its main building dates from 1922, when it was built as a rest house for the mayor of Belo Horizonte. It later served as a Workers' Club and a City of Minors before becoming the headquarters of the Centro de Apoio Comunitário.

The park's name comes from the landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, though the site is a cerrado reserve rather than a designed garden. The 1922 house on the grounds served as a mayor's rest home, then a Workers' Club and a City of Minors; today it houses the Centro de Apoio Comunitário, which runs educational, social and environmental activities, many started by residents of Flávio Marques Lisboa.

The park lies in the Flávio Marques Lisboa neighbourhood, in the Barreiro de Cima area of Belo Horizonte, within the Serra do Rola Moça ecological complex. Trails, a lookout point, a fountain, sports court, football pitch and playground are spread across its 176,000 square metres. The Clemente stream rises from springs inside the park.

The house inside the park was built in 1922 as a rest home for the mayor of Belo Horizonte. It later served as a Workers' Club and a City of Minors before becoming the headquarters of the Centro de Apoio Comunitário, which runs educational, social and environmental activities, many started by residents themselves.
